I think I veered towards filmmaking because there's more of a sense of control in it. You're not waiting to be picked.

I don't see love as some perfect happily ever after thing like it is in books and movies. It's more like a bumpy road filled with potholes...and detours. Sometimes we even veer off into the ditch.

Book your life choices in advance the same way you would book flights, car rentals, hotels, and excursions. Figure out early on in your career whether you intend to be financially independent or marry a rich man, join the ranks of the professional elite or be the stay-at- home type, postpone having children or find part-time employment. Then fasten your seat belt and sit tight as you watch your trajectory veer off course. — Veronique Vienne

We’re built of contradictions, all of us. It’s those opposing forces that give us strength, like an arch, each block pressing the next.

A man without contradictions to balance him will soon veer off. — Mark Lawrence

We're moving in a weird direction, at least. — Martin Starr
I don't like to veer away from the truth because I think that's what people have fallen in love with about my music. It's honest.

Probably my eating disorder [is the hardest obstacle]. It ruled my life for years, and I didn't know how I could live with it forever, but I didn't know how I could live without it.

get tempted. — Ashley Rickards
Piper reads the scripts, and we email a lot. Most of her comments are on the more technical side, like "This wouldn't happen. This is against the rules."

But, I always want her involved because she's the mother of all this. — Jenji Kohan
He is the best sailor who can steer within the fewest points of the wind, and extract a motive power out of the greatest obstacles.

When one plan that you have, to get this or to get that, to advance in the world, or whatever it might be, when that seems in danger of veering off the path you have set for it, you have your emergency plan ready.
